Essie Tribal Text-Styles

Verovatno ste primetile u proteklih godinu dana da je Essie ponuda u Srbiji sve siromašnija i da se nove kolekcije ne uvoze. Essie stalci po drogerijama stoje poluprazni, sa lakovima sumnjivog stanja koji izgledaju kao da im treba dobro brisanje prašine i spolja i iznutra. Tužan prizor. Svako zamiranje brenda kod nas me malo rastuži, mada za Essie mi nije preterano žao jer su im kolekcije vazda sigurne i dosadne - malo nude, malo roze, nešto crveno i jedna boja koja odskače od ostatka. Verujem da to može biti jedan razlog za smanjenj interesovanja kupaca za ove lakove. Drugi je sasvim sigurno cena. Puna cena je povremeno povećavana, ali lakovi su skoro stalno bili na sniženju, što je dobar pokazatelj stepena prodaje - jednostavno nisu išli po novoj punoj ceni.

Essie nail polish range available in Serbia has been diminishing consistently for a year or two now and we haven't been getting new collections. Essie stands are half-empty, with suspiciously-looking polishes that look like they need a good dusting both on the outside and on the inside. A sad sight indeed. Every time I see a brand fail in certain market I get a bit sad, although I am not too sad about Essie because I find their collections safe and boring - some nudes, some pinks, some reds and one colour that does not match the rest of them. I believe that to be one of the reasons buyers aren't as interested in these polishes. The other one is definitely price. When they first introduced drugstore range of Essie, they were about half the price they are now, but nowadays they are on sale quite often, showing that they weren't selling at full price.

Essie Tribal Text-Styles je iz kolekcije za leto 2016. jedne od retkih koja zapravo nije očekivano dosadna jer ima prave letnje, žive boje. I ovaj lak. Tribal Text-Styles bi se predvidljivo mogao pojaviti u nekoj jesenjoj ili zimskoj kolekciji, ali ubaciti tamni šimer u letnju kolekciju je prilično neočekivano. Ne znam da li je bio u pitanju hrabar potez ili im je preostao od prethodne zimske kolekcije. U pitanju je crn lak sa srebrnastim šimerom. Kažem srebrnastim, a ne srebrnim jer se tu nalaze i topliji, mesingani odsjaji, kao i plave i ružičaste čestice. Ono gde Essie skoro nikada ne greši je kvalitet formule lakova i ovaj lak ne razočarava u tom pogledu. Lak se nanosi lako i ravnomerno i dva sloja su dovoljna za puno pokrivanje. Suši se standardno brzo za Essie lakove. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Essie Tribal Text-Styles was part of summer 2016. collection, one of the rare ones that was not boring because it had true summery vibrant colours. And then this polish. Tribal Text-Styles could be expected to be part of a fall or winter collection, but putting a dark shimmer in a summer collection is rather unexpected move. I don't know if they were being bold or this colour just didn't make the cut in the previous winter collection. This is a black polish with silvery shimmer. I say silvery and not silver because I see warmer brassy specks, as well as blue and pink particles. One bit that Essie does do so well is formula and this polish does not disappoint. It goes on smoothly and evenly and two coats are enough are enough for full coverage. Drying time is standard for Essie. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
